Biggest issue is Raisin doesn't start immediately WITH you. Fix for that is doing many Fast Starts, not a long step, but rather a short fast step with leash in Walking Position below mid-shin. Also, why are you giving additional command of "Come'on?" On the Figure 8, again same fix for the sluggish start, also your start step is to long, make that a VERY small, short FAST step for awhile and she will learn to 'read your feet' much better.
On the lagging while heeling, that fix is to implement Week 5 'countermove EVERY time dog is out of heel position '.
You are training her to pay crisp attention to your footwork, not give you ho-hum, la,la,la heeling.

Make sense?
Yep thanks. I guess I got a little used to her slow responses while learning and am slow to bring her up to standards.
